No Sound After Installing LMDE 5
I just installed LMDE 5 and after getting things working I now do not have sound. I have searched the Forum and the Internet for solutions however have not been successful. I'm running Cinnamon Version 5.6.7 and Kernel 5.10.0-21.I. Installed pavucontrol and no sound.
Code:
$ sudo aplay -l

I have speakers plugged into the jack on the back using the onboard sound. If I wiggle the connection you do hear static in the speakers. What else should I be looking at?

- Take a look at speaker's plug and cable. Possibly a defective contact in the plug or a cable break has been occurred.
If you can test these speakers on another computer do this.
- Open pavucontrol, go to "Configuration" and set HDMI Audio to "off" and HD Audio Controller to "Analog Stereo Output" or "Analog Stereo Duplex". Then go to "Output Devices" and set for HD Audio Controller Line Out a value of 100% (0 dB) or a shade less.

I tried plugging in a set of headphones into the jack in back and still no sound. I verified pavucontrol and everything is set as you outline. Actually for the HDMI it states that it is unplugged unavailable. I'm missing something but can't get a handle on it.

Boot a live Linux e.g. Knoppix and check whether you get sound.
The ASUS M2A-VM is quite old. Sound may be broken.

Tried playing sound when using a different Live OS and no sound. Odd that I had sound before I upgraded to LMDE 5 and did other things to the computer and now no sound. While the board is older everything on it works fine (except the sound apparently), and my approach is if you can run run Linux on an older machine you are getting more life out of something that may otherwise end up a cast away.

Been searching the Internet. What about using one of those external sound cards/adapters that plug into a USB port and have a jack to plug the speakers in? From what I have read, from those that have used, they had no sound from jack on computer however using one of these adapters are able to get sound from their PC. Anyone have an opportunity to try?
